  1. Improve Firewall List Accessibility

    The Firewall list is difficult to use particularly if you have low vision. The tiny country flag icons are difficult to see and if you hover over them nothing is displayed. Would be great to add hover text with the country name at least. Also, clicking the checkboxes in the filter control requires clicking precisely on the checkbox input rather than being able to click on the input label to check / uncheck the item which is far easier for people who have difficulty seeing or are using an alternative input device.

  2. Allow reloading php-fpm via CLI

    After a deploy we want to clear the OPcache using the systemctl reload php8.2-fpm.service command, but we don't have access to it in the CLI. We're looking into a workaround, but currently this is keeping us from hosting more websites at Cloudways.

  3. Allow access to supervisor via CLI

    We build Laravel websites, and often we use Horizon (https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/horizon). Horizon spawns supervisor processes, which need to be terminated after a deploy, so the changes get picked up.

    Currently we don't have access to supervisor in the CLI, and it's important we can do that.

  6. Separate local backup on app level

    Currently, we can only take server level local backup which create for every apps, cloudways should enable control this backup for application level. So that, if local backups are enable on server, we can filter it for which apps we need this backup. Otherwise, backup will take unwanted disk space on server.

  7. For Object Cache Pro, provide an upgrade route when switching from 1Gb to 2Gb+

    When upgrading from 1 GB to more RAM, it's a good idea to either:
    Draw attention to the fact that Object Cache Pro is not integrated with the current assets and outline the necessary steps (migration) to get Object Cache Pro.
    Establish a procedure that, upon server upgrading, instantly adds Object Cache Pro to already-existing assets.

  8. Support for own Cloudflare account with Cloudways Autonomous

    Cloudways Autonomous is a great and finally a modern offering for scalable solutions from Cloudways, but it comes with a great limitation for the Cloudflare power users - Cloudflare proxying "orange cloud" is not supported.

    Since Cloudways Autonomous is deeply integrated with Cloudflare Enterprise own Cloudways account for security and optimizations it becomes impossible to use own Cloudflare account that gives full access to analytics, rules, bot countermeasures, workers, etc.

  9. Cloudways domains are currently not working on safari, possibly due to an HTTPs configuration error.

    All applications with a cloudways domain, i.e. phpstack-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx.cloudwaysapps.com are receiving the following error when served with HTTPS:

    "Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes and then try again."

    The fix is to add an htaccess rule to the web root folder:
    "Header unset Upgrade"

    This does work, however it seems like there is a Cloudways HTTPS configuration error that could be addressed.

    Thanks!

  10. Create an upgrade path for Object Cache Pro when moving from 1Gb to 2Gb+

    When moving from 1Gb to a higher RAM it would be good to either:
    Highlight the lack of integration for Object Cache Pro for existing assets and what needs to be done (migration) to get Object Cache Pro
    Create a routine that adds Object Cache Pro automatically to existing assets on server upgrade

  11. Send alert when SMTP settings are changed

    Please set up a notification via email when SMTP settings are changed on the server. We have had instances where a member has reset SMTP settings and emails were no longer delivered on our applications. We were not aware until clients brought this up and we investigated. It would be much better to just have a simple email notification sent whenever SMTP settings for a server is changed.

  12. Add Digital Ocean Block Storage Option - Australia Servers

    This will allow clients hosted in Australia to migrate from Vultr to Digital Ocean, while being able to upgrade storage quota.

    Myself alone have 5 servers pending migration due to the lack of Block Storage in Australia.

  13. Offer Cloudways Autonomous with Digital Ocean's servers (not Google's): really better for RGPD.

    Some of us are reluctant to entrust our data (businnes, customers and personal) and our servers to Google.

    A Cloudways Autonomous configuration with Digital Ocean servers would better protect our data in Europe.

  15. Preserve git repos when cloning

    The clone process should preserve any git repos on the server.

    Right now, the .git directory and .gitignore file is excluded from a clone.

    This means, in order to restore the repo after a clone, we need to remove the existing files and pull the repo down again from the origin (github in our case).

    This should not be necessary when cloning a server, which is supposed to make an identical copy.

    A clone (that is, making an identical copy) should preserve any git repos present on the server as these are a key part of many workflows.

  16. Varnish and Redish Configuration

    Hello,

    UI should allow us to set Varnish TTL time more than 24 hours and Redish and Varnish memory settings and storage settings etc.

    Without this how come you are a good hosting solution?

  17. Support for Vary: Accept header in Cloudflare

    By default, Cloudflare works to cache objects based on the URL. This prevents image optimization plugins from working, because there may be different images at the same URL - depending on whether the browser supports the format. The idea is that Cloudflare also takes into account the Accept header sent by the browser. In every hosting plan you have Cloudflare Enterprise. In the paid version of Cloudflare, this can be easily configured.

    Here is the working principle of the idea I am talking about:
    https://blog.cloudflare.com/vary-for-images-serve-the-correct-images-to-the-correct-browsers/

    In order to properly configure Cloudflare, you must make such a request to the API:

  18. Remove Object Cache Pro as a standard install from all new server/app builds

    This is really frustrating when you clone or build a new app and it automatically enables OCP. It does nothing for dynamic websites except add an additional overhead (slowing the app down, ironically the opposite of what it is designed to do).

  19. Improve staging DB pull / push feature and user experiance

    When using a staging server that's linked to the live server we have the option to push / pull data from the live server to the staging server.

    If you want to select specific tables your system displays the tables in a very confusing manner/order. I'm not sure what order they are displayed in but it would be much easier and more user friendly if they we're in alphabetical order and match / similar to the table layout in the DB. We have to choose a larger number of tables and use Magento so there's lots of tables to scroll…

  20. staging sites

    Hello, Can you please roll out a bug fix for the following :)

    By default let whatever team member that is creating a staging site to have full permission to use it?

    I've just found out a team member created a staging site but is unable to access it. As admin, I had to tick his staging site for him to be able to do anything with it!

    Thanks
